I have a friend who applied on July 27th and got approved recently. My wife applied on July 12th and still nothing. Our application includes the main applicant, my wife, applying for OWP with PGWP Public policy, me as the spouse, applying for a spouse's open work permit too (she's working in a qualified job) and our three underage children, renewing their visitor records. Could this be considered a complex case and that be the reason for the delay?
Our current permits are about to expire this week, I know we can keep working until a decision is made, but we are being asked everywhere to send our updated documentation, even the insurance (in Quebec) which is expiring on the same date, is asking us for the updated document and does not accept that we can still remain as is until we're told otherwise. Is anybody else experiencing the same being asked to send their new WP? Have any lawyer or experienced person commented with any of you about what to do other than waiting for the WP, which is the most obvious thing to do?
